A UKRAINIAN family who fled the horror of bombs fears they could soon become homeless again.

Ulyana Majumder and husband Raj escaped their war-torn country in April and have now settled in Knutsford.

The couple, who have two young children, were delighted to be offered a flat in Over Peover by a host family.

They say they had settled down and were enjoying building a new life.

However, they were shocked to discover that the property they are living in is now being sold.

The family has been given just one week’s notice to leave and find somewhere else to live.

Ulyana said: “I feel sad. We don’t know what to do.

“We don’t have a place to go to.

“Our home was bombed but now we have a new life with friends.”

The 25-year-old said her husband Raj, 29, is medically qualified and studying to become a doctor.

Daughters Mariia, eight, and Priia, five, are settled in a local school.

The family is appealing to the local community for help.

“We are looking for a home with two bedrooms, a living room, bathroom, toilet and kitchen,” said Ulyana, who designs clothes and hopes to study at college.

“If possible, it would be nice to have a garden for the children.

“We don’t have a car but my husband is training to be a doctor and is looking for more practical experience.”

Hope Central, a Christian charity in Knutsford that runs a foodbank and strives to help anyone in need, is already helping the family.

Trustee Ian Robertson said: “We have been supporting the family in their job search and providing them with food.

“It is sad to see them become homeless.

“We hope that someone may be able to offer them some accommodation.”

The family came to the UK through the Homes for Ukraine scheme.

A spokesman for Cheshire East Council said: “The council has a key role in supporting the government’s Homes for Ukraine scheme in Cheshire East.

“This includes responsibilities for homelessness and housing support in event of placements ending.

“While it would not be appropriate to comment on individual cases, our housing team is working incredibly hard to ensure that refugees entering Cheshire East under the scheme have safe and secure accommodation that is appropriate to their needs.

“We are working with sponsors, social housing providers, voluntary groups and private-sector landlords to explore all potential sources of housing supply.

“Unfortunately, it is inevitable that, as time passes, we will see some placements end.

“This may be for a variety of reasons. Where this occurs, we will seek to engage with sponsors and refugees as early as possible to reduce the risk of homelessness.”
